The above statement is by Dr. Saroukhani, a prof of sociology at the University of Tehran. It is part of an interview he gave for a first regional conference on Social Thought and Sociology in the Contemporary Middle-East” (Tehran, May 2011)
His assertions are thoroughly unscientific (i.e., BS), in contradiction with philosophy of science and methodological foundations of sociology. And he is not the only one!
This is the entire interview:

So, whenever you ask yourself why there is no fundamental transformation in the Iranian political system from a religious dictatorship to a secular democracy, think of this “intellectual!” and others like him as contributing agents of our country’s backwardness.
